Women's handbags are big business. When choosing her handbag, a woman looks at form and function. The color, brand and style must be up to date with current trends. Many times, celebrities will lead the way in establishing the latest chic. Those thousand dollar handbags can only be purchased by the wealthy unless the wearer finds a deep discounter or settles for a knockoff. Some fads, like Vera Bradley, are more middle-of-the-road and spread like wildfire across middle class America. These handbags fall into the under $300 range. On rare occasion, a purse becomes a hit based on its functionality. In recent years, examples of this would include a purse Oprah touted called the Butler Bag, or the Buxton seen on TV ads.

Just as a woman is serious about choosing her handbag, you must be serious about choosing your supplier for drop shipping handbags. Look at their form. Ask yourself these questions:
1.Are their products authentic and verified?
2.If you are selling knockoffs, are they just look-a-likes, or could you get into legal trouble for trying to pass off a replica as the real thing?
3.How is the quality of the handbags?
4.How about packaging? Is it professional and elegant?
5.Will the supplier ship with your label?

Next, investigate their function. Ask these questions:
1.Can they provide references?
2.How fast and reliable is their shipping?
3.Do they offer guarantees?
4.What is their drop shipping rate?
5.What is their return policy?

If you are confident that you have found a quality wholesale supplier, not another middle man who will just drain your profits, strike a deal and move forward with planning your virtual store front. Be sure your website has form and function, as well. In form it should be attractive and professional in appearance. It should also have detailed descriptions and helpful photos. In function, it should be easily searchable, easy to navigate and easy to place orders and contact you.

No new experience is without a stumble or two, but asking yourself the right questions as you go can certainly make your trip progress more smoothly. Best wishes in your new venture!
